Chapter 220: Murong Fu, the Duke of China!Tokyo. Sweetwater Lane. A squad leader wearing a red scarf and holding a big knife stepped on a thug. The rest of the thugs were also pinned to the ground by the Red Turban Army. They were all terrified and begged for mercy loudly. However, this group of people took advantage of the fire in Tianshui Lane and not only did not go in to put out the fire, but also took advantage of the fire to rob. Not only did they rob the property, they also raped the women inside. "How dare you go against the will of our leader, take advantage of the situation, and rape women! You deserve to die!" The team leader said coldly, "Our leader is the Ming Zun incarnate. His words are the will of heaven! You dare to go against the will of heaven. If I don't know how to torture you, I will torture you to death!" "But those women are prostitutes!" The thug cried and begged for mercy, "Take all the money, and spare us!" "Even prostitutes are not okay. Don't you know how to spend money? For something like this, even if you spend a little money, what's more, you are robbing, which is a capital crime!" The captain said, and slashed with a knife, "Kill!" With his order, all the thugs were beheaded. "Hang their heads on the gate of Tianshui Lane as a warning to others!" the squad leader ordered.
Afterwards, the team leader said to the frightened brothel madam, "The Lord Ming has come to save the people. We conquered Tokyo because of the tyranny of the Zhao Song Dynasty, not because of you ordinary citizens! Just do your business well, and no one will make things difficult for you! Who knows, maybe we brothers will come to your house to have fun tonight, of course, we will pay you!" "Yes, yes, yes!" the madam said hurriedly, "Master Murong, that is a god descending to earth. One person can defeat thousands of troops. We are convinced." The team leader didn't say much. He just called his men and continued patrolling while reading "The Master's Treasure Instructions". He had some education and could read and write. The "Treasure Instructions of the Master" compiled by Murong Fu was a condensed version of Mingzun Sanzang, which mainly retained some core teachings, mostly punishing evil and promoting good, and also included a simple introduction to Tai Chi. Every Ming Cult team leader was given a copy. After reading "The Leader's Treasure Instructions", they benefited greatly and felt closer to Leader Murong. Sect Leader Murong is not only their sect leader, but also their teacher, who teaches them how to be a good person and martial arts. In addition, Murong Fu's divine power was so great that it was beyond the comprehension of mortals, and the followers of the Ming Cult basically entered the stage of fanaticism. The "Treasure Instructions of the Master" is also a mechanism used by Murong Fu to select talents at the grassroots level. As long as one learns the "Treasure Instructions of the Master" well and makes certain contributions, one will have the opportunity to study Mingzun Sanzang in the future. After studying Mingzun Sanzang, one can be directly transferred to the local area to serve as an official. This is a great avenue for progress. This kind of suppression of bandits did not only happen in Tianshui Lane, but happened everywhere in Tokyo City. Anyone who took the opportunity to cause chaos was violently suppressed by the Red Turban Army. Murong Fu is not a great official. He does not want to change the inherent dark phenomena, such as brothels, for the time being. He would not be so foolish as to liberate women right now. If he did, he would be taking too big a step and might end up hurting himself. Murong Fu did not require all his subordinates to be Puritans, as that was unrealistic, so he gave them money and let them buy everything they needed themselves. Buy whatever you want to eat! If you want a woman, you can buy her! Tokyo doesn't lack these anyway. Therefore, the entire Tokyo city is not only not in chaos, but the public security is better than usual. After a large number of Murong Fu's subordinates received rewards, they also boosted the economy of the entire Tokyo. Government offices at all levels also began to operate, and the order in Tokyo was not greatly disrupted. The forces that were originally on the sidelines, after seeing Murong Fu's performance, finally saw the "appearance of a true ruler."
They thought that if Murong Fu was not Dong Zhuo, he would be Zhu Wen, and he would definitely be cruel and ruthless. Many girls from ordinary families began to smear soda on their faces for fear of being captured by the bandits. But everything they worried about did not happen, and Murong Fu was no different from the past emperors of the Song Dynasty. People's hearts quietly shifted away from the Song Dynasty and towards Murong Fu. Suddenly, rows of Jinyiwei appeared in the palace and began to post notices everywhere. The people, who had just regained peace, began to read these notices. As the capital of the Song Dynasty, Dongjing had an incredibly high literacy rate. Even a working woman could probably recognize quite a few words. The people gathered around the notice and found that it said three things. First, Murong Fu is acting in the name of justice and punishing the criminals. He has currently occupied the southeast and cut off the grain transport. But don't be afraid, because it is his own people who cut off the grain transport, and the supplies to Tokyo can still be supplied as usual. Second, Murong Fu was able to enter the capital this time, and Murong Yanfeng and the entire Murong family made great contributions. In order to commend Murong Yanfeng, Murong Yanfeng was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet, responsible for managing all officials of the Song Dynasty. Third, according to Murong Yanfeng's revelation, there was something strange about the death of the Empress Dowager Gao. Now that the coffin was opened for autopsy, it was found that the Empress Dowager died of poisoning. After torture, it was found that it was the current emperor Zhao Xu who did it. Therefore, Zhao Xu will be tried at noon tomorrow! The signature is: Duke of China, Prince of Yan, Murong Fu! It was also stamped with three large seals: "Duke of the Protectorate", "Prince of Yan" and the imperial seal of the Song Dynasty. The people were in an uproar. Especially the third piece of news shocked the people. The Song Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. If Empress Dowager Gao was really poisoned by Zhao Xu, it would be a fatal blow to the legitimacy of the Zhao Song regime. In the Zuixian Restaurant. A group of literati gathered together to interpret Murong Fu's announcement. "Master Murong's family is the Gusu Murong clan, and Gusu is in Liangzhe Road, in Jiangnan. His capture of Dongjing this time was a surprise attack, but it took advantage of the weakness of the Song Dynasty, which was strong in the trunk and weak in the branches." A scholar named Wang Heng explained, "Before that, he must have started an uprising in the southeast. The troops in the southeast were weak and sparse in number, with only 5,000 troops in Liangzhe Road. So it's not surprising that he occupied the southeast." Another scholar named Chen Wang sighed and said, "Therefore, the real meaning of the first item of this announcement is that the financial resources and grain transport of the Song Dynasty are all controlled by him. If he cuts off the grain transport, the people of Bianliang will have to starve. He controls the lifeline of Bianliang!" The scholars praised: "Brother Wang, your opinion is brilliant! Brother Chen, your opinion is brilliant!" Wang Heng was admired by everyone, and his passion for politics became even stronger. Since ancient times, educated Chinese people could not help but engage in politics and talk about it. Even if you are eating pickles and rolled tofu, you should still have the world in your heart and worry about the country. "The second item of this announcement is to commend Murong Yanfeng's contribution. You can't write two Murongs with one stroke. The Murong family in Tokyo even had a concubine. Who would have thought that they would..." Wang Heng didn't finish his words, and then said, "When I read history books, I saw that the Murong family loved internal fighting the most. I didn't expect that this generation would be so strange. The descendants of Murong Ke and Murong Chui are so united. I wonder if the new court they established will be called Yan State?" Chen Wang said: "The relationship between Murong Ke and Murong Chui was good to begin with, and it's not surprising that the descendants of the two families walked together. It's just that the second point, my brother, you overlooked one point, which is the cabinet's chief minister. It seems that our Murong Sect Leader wants to replace the prime minister with the cabinet. The cabinet's chief minister is actually the prime minister. It is indeed very appropriate to let Murong Yanfeng be the prime minister. He has made great contributions and is also a member of the Murong family!" "Third, Brother Chen, do you think it's true or false?" Wang Heng asked, "Did the emperor really kill the Empress Dowager?" "Originally there were rumors like this in the capital. After all, the Empress Dowager passed away so suddenly, but I didn't believe it." Chen Wang said, "But now, I believe it." Wang Heng asked, "Why? Do you think that Patriarch Murong would not lie?" "That's not the case." Chen Wang said, "I saw the emperor quickly dispatched 10,000 imperial guards. If he hadn't been deliberate, how could he have controlled so many imperial guards so quickly after the death of the Empress Dowager? Our emperor is actually a ruthless and decisive person. It's a pity that he met the god-like Murong Sect Leader!" Everyone was silent.
"The Song Dynasty is over!" Wang Heng sighed. Once Zhao Xu was charged with the crime of murdering his grandmother, Zhao Song would be considered immoral in the eyes of the simple values of the people today. Chen Wang said: "There is another point worth noting, that is the signature. It is understandable that he proclaimed himself the King of Yan, after all, the ancestors of the Murong family founded the Yan Kingdom, but what does this title of Duke of the Protectorate of China mean?" "Protecting the country? As the name suggests, it means protecting the country." Wang Heng was puzzled, "But he clearly destroyed the country! What does the Duke of Protecting the Country mean?" night. Zhao Song Imperial Palace. In the Zichen Palace. "The title of Duke of the Protectorate is a transitional stage to the Emperor." Murong Fu said, "The world is still unsettled, and we haven't even swallowed up the Song Dynasty yet. It's inappropriate to be an emperor now. So I'm called the Duke of the Protectorate, which means protecting the country. The word Huaxia is added in front, which means that as the Duke of the Protectorate, I am not only protecting the Song Dynasty, but also the entire Huaxia. Liao, Xixia, Dali, and Tubo are all within my protection." "I see." Murong Yan understood and said with a smile, "Master, I found the emperor's dragon robe in the palace and had someone alter it. You should be able to wear it. Do you want to try it on?" Murong Fu put on the dragon robe of the Zhao Song Emperor and asked his attendants, "How is it?" Tong Guan said: "Oh, this is really a true dragon descending to the world! Your Majesty has unparalleled power and sweeps across the world. The emperors of the Song Dynasty are not even a fraction as powerful as Your Majesty!" Sikong Xuan said: "You have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun and the sky. If you don't become the emperor, the whole world will not agree!" Murong Yan said: "You are obviously the supreme ruler, but Zhao Song's dragon robe does not match your domineering aura." "That's true." Murong Fu said, "Our new dynasty has its own elegant policies, so we need to redesign the dragon robe." After saying that, Murong Fu took off his dragon robe and looked at the black material that Tong Guan gave him. "Duke Protector of the Country, we have arrested more than 500 members of the Song Dynasty royal family, more than 100 relatives of the emperor, and more than 600 nobles of various kinds." Tong Guan said, "All those in Tokyo City have been captured in one fell swoop. No one has escaped." Some of this dirty information was collected by the Imperial City Bureau, and some was found in Guifan Tower. Murong Fu checked them one by one and said to Tong Guan: "I have ordered the construction of a guillotine. All lawless officials, royal family members, and royal relatives will be executed! Kill them if they deserve it. Show no mercy!" (End of this chapter)
